The trouble with correcting those sorts of things is that it isn’t only a writing problem or a grammar problem. There is a problem with clarity of thinking, even misunderstanding of basic terminology. I doubt they could explain their arguments coherently out loud, either. It begs the question of how they got through all those classes before senior year.

I think that homeschooling can help prevent these problems just because of the one-on-one nature of instruction. The children probably have to speak in complete sentences more often than they would in a classroom.

And this sort of thing

this is true of all the following reasons I stated before

might be happening in seventh grade, but if dealt with then and required to be corrected every single time, should be gone before they get to college.
